No Remote Control Parking (5DV)? I find that surprising especially with the large doors and wide body. You're bound to find yourself jammed in a parking space because someone parked too close to you while you're in a store shopping.

For the 6 seat configuration, you'll need to add captain chairs (4U5). For the blue/white design you'd need the Ivory White/Night Blue Full Leather Merino seat design (VBEI). |

Sorry, I meant the pattern in the leather.

I met with a BMW dealer in South India and he said they were taking order requests for X7s with the following colors: Pyrite Brown, Ruby Black, Ametrin Red, and Tanzanite Blue in addition to the ones in the options list attached in the forum. From my understanding, these are "Individual Colors" for the 7 series and a couple of "M" models.
Will US based customers get these color options too? I'd be willing to delay my purchase if I can get one of these colors. Last edited by menohuman; 11-14-2018 at 11:22 PM.. |

Room for negotiation
Does anyone know what happens if you pre-ordered and walk away from the order? Does the dealer get to keep that allocation?
If not maybe there is room to negotiate on the price since the pre-order sale would be "gravy" for the dealer. Does this make sense? |

In New Jersey you can get your deposit back as long as you did not sign the purchase or lease agreement. I'm sure the same applies to most, if not all states. I'm not sure about the allocations.

Leather options
I love the full Merino leather as that gives me leather on the upper parts of the doors and I also think that is reasonably priced. My issue is that I don't want white leather seats as that is impractical and I want something darker like Coffee (or Blue seats). So far as I know the only option if I want leather on the upper side of the doors is to go for Ivory White/Night Blue Full Leather Merino.
I think that Merino Extended Leather will not give me leather on the upper side of the doors but I realize that I can easily add leather on the dashboard. Anyone knows if there are any other options? Thanks! Regards, Per |

I'm asking because on the X5, if you order the leather dash, the narrow sections right below the glass are covered in leather as well - even if you don't order the extended leather (on the X5, there is no full leather option yet). That might be something to consider....it could be the same on the X7. |

Full merino will be available on the X5 from 4/2019 forward. https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...or-spring-2019 *This is a release from BMW, not BMWNA, so don't know if/when it applies to USA. |

There are some pictures out there that showed the upcoming X5 M50i and that vehicle also had leather on the lower part of the dash. However, it did NOT have leather on the lower part of the doors, leaving the question if "full" leather on the X5 is going to be as "full" as it is on the X7 where basically everything is covered by leather. Ah, found the image: If you look closely, you can see the seam on the lower left corner of the image right below the trim indicating the leather covered lower dash. The dark, lower door section of the front passenger door, however, doesn't seem to be leather (no seam). If that's really the case, BMW should call it "partially full" - LOL! |

The only "full" leather that we've seen so far — X5 or X7 — has been the ivory/blue on the recently delivered X7s. I went through a couple of videos to see if any show the map pockets. Here's a pic of a rear door map pocket with leather and stitching.

The X5 in the picture, though, certainly has more leather than the currently available "extended" leather because even when you opt for extended, the lower dash is not covered in leather. So, the image shows either something between "extended" and "full" which is unlikely or - what I believe but certainly not hope - the door pockets on the X5 will never be leather covered.. |
